Biggest question is, if your that damn tall, why are you buying a Sportster to start with? Seriously. Why not a Dyna?

 

I think you will be much happier when you get the forwards installed...my knees hurt just thinking about mids!

Here is a video of something you can do for close to nothing with your stock exhaust that will get you some sound AND some additional torque.

I love loud exhaust, but Forwards are a must and i'm only 5'8". I will not own a sporty without forwards.

 

1. Money

2. I want to chop up the sporty If I got a dyna, i'd leave it stock.

 

These are what I got...says that the chrome is blemished, But I am going to paint them anyway.....Anyone have advice on how to remove the rubber on the pegs? I was thinking of boiling them to loosen the rubber?

definitly get the forwards first, they make a world of difference.

Why would you want to remove the rubber on the Pegs?? If you want to paint them just tape them off, if the rubber is worn, those pegs are only $20 from the dealer new.

 

I plan on painting them black. You think taping them off would work just as well?

 

I'm 6'2" and the mids kill my knees and it's all ******** & elbows runnin down the highway. I'm going to try forwards first, then might explore extensions. Hard to say what will be comfortable after the bar / riser change.

If I were in your boat, I would take the slip-ons off and header wrap, then lollipop the ends and roll with it for now.

 

You can also put extensions on your forwards to make it even better. I put 2" extensions on mine...best thing I ever did for my bike.
